The new Andean architecture is a form of vindication and rescue of the Andean identity. It is considered a form of art for all citizens of Bolivia and the world. Bolivian people are proud of their culture and they build their own houses according to various elements of their culture.

Undoubtedly, it is a new concept that draws the attention of many because it is not something that can be seen anywhere, this architecture rescues the elements of the culture of El Alto, Bolivia.

The founder of this new concept

The founder of this new architecture style is Freddy Mamani Silvestre, who used to be a construction worker, but later became an engineer and builder. The new Andean architecture is also known as "cholet" "choletito" or "cohetillo".

He never gave up his dream

Freddy Mamani is not an architect but he definitely had a vision of what he wanted to portray with the Andean architecture.

He has built more than 60 houses

Freddy Mamani is an engineer and constructor, that has built more than 60 houses representing Andean architecture. He began building these houses since 2005, according to what he said in an interview with a Bolivian newspaper.

New Andean Architecture

The name of Freddy Mamani 's work as " New Andean Architecture" can be understood by looking at his work, which is a syncretism between traditional construction techniques and the Andean aesthetics, exposed in shapes and colors used in facades and interiors . It incorporates in its buildings, cultural elements of the original peoples of Bolivia.

Its main purpose

The aim is to create a new architectural language that tells the story behind then Bolivian culture specifically the Aymara indigenous culture.

Colors and shapes

These Baroque buildings use circles, butterflies, geometric shapes such as the Andean cross or “chakana”, snakes and frogs that are featured on the facades.

Main source of inspiration

The new Andean architecture’s main source of inspiration is the Aymara indigenous culture. According to Mamani "The Aymara culture has finally reclaimed its role in this country”.

Chalets

Freddy Mamani is not an architect but his “chalets” have some really extravagant designs. Many indigenous people have been able to overcome poverty in the last few years thanks to Bolivia’s president Evo Morales.

Changing the city’s landscape

In the Bolivian city of El Alto, there are 60 peculiar buildings with bright colors and unique design, these buildings are definitely changing the landscape of this gloomy Andean city that a few years back, was just another suburb of La Paz, the Bolivian capital.

Innovative design

There is no doubt that Mamani’s work represents a new, innovative design compared to the dull architecture seen in many Andean cities like El Alto.

“Cholets”

Thanks to the economic growth that the Andean country has achieved in recent times, the Aymara population has benefited from this boom and, consequently, a lot of middle-class families have been able to afford one of these “cholets”.

Colorful buildings

Many people in El Alto, have now the opportunity to invest in Mamani’s cholets, which do not imitate the classic Western style. The new Andean architecture proves that the Aymara culture has not disappeared.

Mamani is a real artist

Freddy Mamani understands the role he plays as an artist. And although his first cholet was inspired by his visit to Tiwanaku, he now has a clear idea of what he wants to portray with his colorful and creative buildings.

It’s not just a trend

Source: plataformaarquitectura.cl

This new architectural concept wants to prove that the Aymara culture is not just part of the Bolivian history; it is rather present and highly valued by several individuals who now proudly claim their cultural roots.

Economic miracle

Source: plataformaarquitectura.cl

Bolivia is internationally known for its folklore, heights and landscapes that converge in a culture full of bright colors. The country is also known as an "economic miracle". Many believe it will become one of the fastest growing countries in South America, and the new Andean architecture will continue to grow as well.

El Alto

In some of the Bolivian cities, some of the major problems are the lack of planning, poverty and insecurity, but El Alto is a city full of rising middle-class entrepreneurs.

Aymara culture

It seems as if money was not an issue with the construction of these buildings; they are full of bright colors, mirrored facades, and lush hanging lamps. El Alto is located more than 4,000 meters above sea level; Freddy Mamani’s dream of building a city representing the Aymara culture is actually coming true.

Many have been inspired

Source: plataformaarquitectura.cl

People pay between $250,000 and $ 600,000 US dollars to build a chalet. Thanks to the media coverage of his work, many people in Peru and Brazil have also been inspired by the new Andean architecture.

His first building

The first work of Francisco Mamani was an elegant building with Andean shapes, it was very colorful and it had a large ballroom, something that was completely new in the city.

It is also known as the “Transformer Architecture”

These are the 20 weird and fascinating hotel rooms in the world

By: Mundo.com - 10 March 2015, 13:30

Compartir en Facebook

When most think of a hotel or hotel room, they probably think of the average room with white walls, chairs, tables, and a set of beds and so on. However, the hotel images below take away all those mundane characteristics of the typical hotel. Some of them look cool while others look straight up weird. Here are some hotel rooms that many have never seen before.

1. Panic Room – Au Vieux Panier (Marseille, France)

auvieuxpanier

This one could drive someone crazy, but perhaps there are a select few out there who would like it. This room is perfectly divided between one side that is plain white while the other is noting but graffiti.

A cave-like room that is decorated with a bed, two silver chairs and some candles. The room is perfect for those who love caves, giving them the atmosphere of a cave. Perhaps this is a real cave and not just for show.

This particular hotel room is like no other on this planet. It sits about 20 to 30 feet below the ocean. Fish and all types of sea creatures can be viewed through the giant window in the room. The room itself is best described as oval shaped.

4. Rock Bottom – Madonna Inn (San Luis Obispo, California)

Madonna Inn

Rock walls surround the inside of this room, giving it a rather dark, interesting look. However, there is one window to look out of, so it’s not completely dark. A good sized bed, a few sofas, and a screen tv are held withing this room of mystery.

If there was one word to describe this room, it would be spacious. The thing that stands out the most in this room is this random, giant lip that sits in front of what looks like a doorway. The ceiling in this room is at least 15 to 20 feet tall.

6. Vous – Madonna Inn (San Luis Obispo, California)

Maddona Inn

This one may give the feel of being under water, although there is no water. What does give this feeling is the dark blue patterned walls, blue bed, and even blue carpet. The walls of the room are interestingly curved in different directions. It’s for sure not the average looking hotel room.

7. Glass Igloo – Kakslauttanen Igloo Village (Lapland, Finland)

Hotel Kakslauttanen

In this room are two beds designed in zebra-like patterns. Above them is nothing but round, dome-shaped glass with a breath taking view of a forest. This room must be really cool to be in while it’s raining or snowing.

8. The Kiboko Star Bed – Loisaba Wilderness (Laikipa, Kenya)

Loisaba

In the middle of what looks like an Africa safari sits an isolated room raised from the ground on a wooden deck. On this little wooden platform is a single bed. One could guess the main reason of the platform is to avoid the danger of animals such as snakes and lions.

9. Ice Suite – Hôtel de Glace (Québec, Canada)

Luc Rousseau

A triangular prism-shaped room with purple walls surround a small, purple bed and a lovely warm fireplace. The walls seem to have an engraved surface that somewhat resembles a butterfly. Not to mention, the bed sits on an ice-like surface.

10. Panorama Suite – The Alpina Gstaad (Gstaad, Switzerland)

EliteTraveler

This room sits a lovely, gray marble hot bath that sits under a beautiful wooden ceiling. It really doesn’t have windows but has a long rectangle-like area that one can look out of to get a spectacular view of the mountains, clouds, and forests.

11. Nostalgie – V8 Hotel (Stuttgart, Germany)

Frank Hoppe

The best theme to describe this room would be junkyard but definitely not in a negative way. The bathroom is enclosed in a creative, round shed-like room with paint intended to look like rust. The bed looks like a fake cut out truck that can probably sit a couple. This room may sound junk like, but it’s not in any way, shape or form.

12. Temple of the Blue Moon – TreeHouse Point (Fall City, Washington)

TreeHouse Point

This one is pretty much a club house on steroids, which no kids could ever build. The house’s foundation is built upon tree trunks about 30 feet above ground. In the middle of the house is a tree trunk. The house does, however, actually have legit roofing and windows.

13. The Sultan’s Suite – Çirağan Palace Kempinski (Istanbul, Turkey)

Westin

This European style room has breath-taking gold curtains. Behind it are large windows and a beautiful view of water and boats. A king sized bed, a large couch, and a large flat-screen tv all sit within this room.

14. Villa La Cupola Suite – Westin Excelsior (Rome, Italy)

Westin

A giant king sized bed sits within a large room with beige walls and plenty of lamps. This room looks fit for a king with the giant windows decorated with red curtains and beautiful furniture. The most prominent color in this room is probably red.

15. Presidential Suite – Hotel Cala di Volpe (Sardinia, Italy)

tishacruzan

This breath taking hotel room sits in a place that looks like Spain. It has got a balcony large enough to sit a swimming pool, which it does. The tile floor on the balcony is decorated with the colors blue, green, and gold. It looks like there is some type of living room in the center of the balcony.

Halloween is definitely one of the most entertaining celebrations of the year… the costumes, the candy, the trick or treating, the parties! We are all thinking what to wear to Halloween’s party or just to stay at home watching movies. When you’re a celebrity, you get to know amazing make up artists and costume designers, and sometimes this means you can take your costume to the next level.

Here we are going to share some of the coolest Halloween outfits you will ever see worn by celebrities. Some of them can be really creepy so, grab you most favorite teddy bear tight and start scrolling down. Don’t panic!

Kim Kardashian

Pinterest.

Hey kimmy, always on top! This outfit fits you perfectly. And people, if you look at it more than 5 seconds you’ll realize it’s not difficult to recreate it at all. It doesn’t even look really expensive! Nice option.

Katy Perry

Pinterest.

I love this one! I mean, who could it be? Katy’s sense of humor’s great. She just loved Cheetos so she thought, why not? Awesome. She doesn't care at all and wears whatever. Nice one Katy!

Kendal Jenner and Cara Delevingne

Pinterest.

I love them. They seem to be having fun and I also love their costume! Even though it’s not the most Halloween theme they could’ve choose it’s all right.

Lewis Hamilton

Pinterest.

Nice job! This joker’s outfit’s perfect and is another reachable cool Halloween costume! Check it out people! I mean it is just a violet suit and a black overcoat.

Kourtney Kardashian

Google.

Haunted bride. The make-up does it all. Dark eyes, red lips, blood coming out of somewhere and your done! Kourtney you nailed it here… I think she is even wearing hair extensions.

Beyoncé and Jay Z

Pinterest.

Well, this couple can’t be reachable. C’mon people they are queen B and king J. However, we can try to put on something similar. Perhaps his outfit is simpler than hers. What do you think?

Nicole Scherzinger

Google.

I love this one. It’s a mix of sexy and perfectly achieved cat costume. Her make-up and hair are perfectly done. And those stripes that cover her body fits her perfectly.

Rhianna

Google.

Riri! You can only look cool in this outfit. I mean, it’s a great idea. However, I can’t imagine someone that is not her inside that green and orange weird costume.

Emily Ratajkowski

Pinterest.

Em, I don’t think that one is the right one for you. She is one of the prettiest models in the industry but this costume doesn’t feel right for me. That dress fits her weird.

Kim Kardashian 2.0

Pinterest.

Hello mermaid! I personally think this costume's pretty cool. The only thing I was wondering was if you could normally walk with it on, but I guess you can, well she did…

Fergie

Google.

Miss universal royalty! Nice in pink. Fancy, childish, sexy and cute at the same time. Who would’ve worn it better than Fergie? Nobody of course. Her face features are simply beautiful.

Kate Moss

Google.

The one and only. Sexy Kate Moss wearing a laced dress and a black hat, smoking a cigarette with her couple Goldie. Her angled face and her tall neck makes her unique.

Paris Hilton

Pinterest.

Nice one Paris! Batman and Robin as sexiest as they can be. That costume fits in her perfectly. As well as her hair and make-up. She’s not over doing it which makes it better.

Christina Aguilera

Google.

Christina, we all love you but this outfit’s not my favorite. The wig is ok and the make-up too. However, those boots and the net stockings are a little too much for me.

Paris again!

Pinterest.

Hi Alice! I mean, Paris. Again, beautiful, not over doing it seems to be the better way. Just look at her. With that dress on, red lips and straight hair. Cool and fancy.

Liam Payne

Pinterest.

Nice one! This one’s the most realistic one of them all. I like it, but it definitely looks really uncomfortable as if it was all made from plastic. He can of course move, but walking or dancing might be terrible.

Kendal Jenner

Pinterest.

Sexy Kendall wearing a vampire costume. Showing up her long legs and body, she couldn’t be more beautiful. This outfit’s perfect for her! long stockings are perfect for her.

Nicky Minaj

Pinterest.

Not exactly coming out of a fairy tale but well it’s Nicky Minaj. We like her. Although, this costume is a little too much for a fairy. Don’t you think? Maybe too short, or perhaps too much cleavage?

Rhianna as Pebbles

Pinterest.

Nice hair Riri! Lovely Pebbles outfit. Only she can wear something like this and be this beautiful, right? Well maybe not. It’s not as extravagant as others. However, it fits perfect on her!

Ariana Grande

Pinterest.

Simple as she is. Ariana can pull out some of the coolest outfits in the world. In this case, she is not acting as if she is 15 which surprised me. However, she is wearing a nice simple bloody dress that I personally like.

Coincidences can be defined by two or more events that with no explanation coincide. It has to even be difficult to understand how did those events happened in that specific way with no logic explanation.

We collect some of the most curious coincidences that have occurred throughout history, making us believe that destiny actually exists. Take a look at these amazing cases that will surely leave you a lot to think about.

Many things can happen in 365 days

Google.

Arvind Kejriwal is the name of this politician from India, and was reinstated to his charge exactly one year after his quitclaim. The possibility that this happened 365 days later is very unlikely, but it actually did.

As fleeting as a kite

Google.

Mark Twain was born shortly after Comet Halley appeared in 1835. The coincidence was quite exact since several times he commented that he had arrived with it and would leave with it as well. On April 20, 1910, one day after the comet appeared again, he passed away.

All aboard

Google.

In 1906 a ship called "Grosser Kurfurst", which traveled from Germany to New York, was the place where several babies were born. The curious thing was the quantity and its order. In the first one a child was born, in the second a pair of twins, and in the third one a triplet.

Google.

For the Cricket players of 1000 runs is a great milestone and these Australians fulfilled it, but on very exact dates. Achieving not only with the same team and at the same age, but also on the same date 15 years later.

So similar

Google.

Enzo Ferrari, the founder of the car company, who died in 1988, is very similar to the player we all know today, Mesut Ozil, who was born that same year.

One character, two different countries

Google.

The comic "Daniel the naughty" was released at the same time in the United States and the United Kingdom by two different cartoonists without knowing anything about each other.

The Karma

Google.

When the Mongols tried to invade Japan in the 13th century and a great typhoon stopped them, they decided to attack the following year. But a typhoon hit them again and they decided not to do it again since this culture believes a lot in karma and destiny.

Bad luck’s number

Google.

Richard Wagner was a German composer, opera director who was born in 1813. Apparently these last two numbers accompanied him throughout his life. He was banished 13 years of his life, his name has 13 letters, opened a place where he presented his music and works on August 13 and also died on February 13. Incredible, right?

The parallelism of Napoleon and Hitler is impressive. Napoleon took power in 1804. Hitler in 1933. Napoleon entered Vienna in 1809. Hitler in 1938. Napoleon entered Russia in 1812. Hitler in 1941. Each of these three events happened with 129 years of difference.

The book came to him

Google.

Anthony Hopkins, the talented actor, won one of the leading roles in the film based on the novel "The Woman of Petrovka" by George Feifer, which he had not read. Days later, when he was on the subway he found the book abandoned in a seat that, coincidently, was the one he chose and was so surprised that decided to read it.

He was speechless and believes it was an unforgettable experience.

"Disaster prophet"

Google.

The film producer Irwin Allen made several films with many disastrous coincidences. One of them, was his film called "Hell in the Tower" since two years later three skyscrapers burned in Brazil.
